Aruba is a paradise. It’s a sun-drenched island with white-sand beaches, beautiful blue water, and fresh fruit that grows on trees. Aruba has it all: the perfect climate to enjoy the outdoors, amazing food and drink options, and easy access to fun activities like scuba diving, snorkeling, and island hopping. The best part? Aruba is also one of the most vegan friendly destinations in the Caribbean! Cook your vegan meal in your private fully equipped luxury kitchen of your Casiola Aruba vacation villa or visit one of our favorite vegan restaurants, which we have listed below:
Yemanja Woodfired Grill
Yemanja Woodfired Grill is the best place to eat vegan in Aruba. It’s located right on the beach, so you can look out at the ocean while enjoying your meal. The restaurant is very popular, so make reservations or be prepared to wait!
If you don’t want anything too heavy, we would recommend ordering an appetizer like hummus or nachos for yourself and then sharing an entree with another friend or family member (or both!). This will allow you to try a variety of different dishes without having too much food on your plate at once, a good strategy when trying new things because sometimes it’s hard to decide what looks good until after you’ve tasted it.
Address: Wilgelminastraat 2, Oranjestad, Aruba (Mon-Sat 5:30pm-10:30pm)
